New Delhi, June 20: The Goods and Service Tax (GST)’s launch is round the corner. The biggest tax reforms in the country since independence will be implemented on July 1 and the government is ready. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had recently said that there would be no delay in the implementation of GST.

Arun Jaitley on Monday addressed a press conference and said that GST is ready for its rollout. He said all the state governments have already put in place the legal framework required for its implementation. But Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir have still not done it. He said Kerala will do that in a week.

The official launch will happen on June 30 midnight. President Pranab Mukherjee will grace the occasion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Speaker Lok Sabha Sumitra Mahajan, and two former Prime Ministers–Manmohan Singh and HD Deve Gowda– will also be present in the function.
